The show’s title honors four master painters who have been teaching classical painting techniques for over thirty years. Charles Cecil (Charles H. Cecil Studios, Florence), Daniel Graves (The Florence Academy of Art, Florence), Ben Long (The Fine Art's League of Asheville), and Jeffrey Mims (Mims Studios, Southern Pines) have been passing on their painting craft in the atelier tradition to generations of young classical painters. Their students are taught to draw and paint from nature using the techniques of the Old Masters, a process that requires continuous education and discovery.

Exhibited will be current work from these four masters and examples of work from several of their apprentices, including Jill Hooper who was fortunate to have studied with Mims, Cecil, and Long. While these four Maestros have similar training and their careers have crossed over the years, never before have they exhibited together as a group. Don't miss this unprecedented event!
